Are you using actual numbers or just eating until satiated. I am familiar with Skip's protocol but not the specifics of it.

Good luck and it sounds like your going to have as much fun in the next few days as I will post contest!

Hey all! Thanks for the interest!!

There is no specific # but its not a one time thing, skip had me use a load like this every week for the whole prep, only witj a smaller time window. I dont count cals/carbs i just eat untill satiated but I like to estimate the amount afterward. I know in 10hours I was usually around 2k grams.

As far as the water goes, from testing the previous weeks i know i look my best 4days after the load both leaness and fullness wise
We will adjust water protocol saturday depending on how I look

Crazy man, just crazy. I think reading all that just PISSED ME THE HELL OFF!!!!

Give it a shot sometime. Keep the fats down, don't eat to the point of making yourself sick. Just eat until full, digest and start again. I found that post contest this season I followed this protocol and woke up looking awesome. I just don't have the guts to eat all that stuff pre contest...maybe one day I will try it.

Plus it would take away from the post contest enjoyment just a little wouldn't it?

I've been "unofficially" skiploading for a bit now myself. One question I have is how strict are you the rest of the week? Do you have to kind of suffer for the other 6 days of the week? And what about cardio? I know Skip limits his guys to around 30min/day. Do you follow this protocol as well.

True Paul it would detract from post contest celebration. I traditionally go out after the show to several restaurants and a gas station or two with many of the friends and family that some to support me. I think they enjoy my reaction to such tasty foods again as much as I do eating them.

Of course not, been doign it every week for the past 16th weeks to see how I react and after how many days I look my best
I know ill look crap tomorrow and look sharp saturday night
Show is sunday morning

Goddamn I envy everyone in this thread. I almost died on my strict 8 week cut, and had to have a cheat day post cut of 15,000 calories just to keep my sanity lol. Really great job guys, inspirational for aspiring competitors like myself!

Would you be able to answer these? I'm curious as to your protocols...

This is what it always comes down to for me. I often see the effects of a giant carb load after my contest and say "next time.....". But then I woose out. I binged like an idiot for two days following my pro card win and then left a two day buffer of control before I had a photo shoot done and I looked my best ever. All of the professional pics in my gallery were taken after eating like crazy and filling out. I didnt look that good on stage, unfortunately!

no fat gain even in the sensitive areas? I often look amazing the day or two after monster binges but there is some spillage or fat gain in the lower back\glute area. I could see going crazy but keeping the foods to sources that are not loaded with fat...
